Whispers of His Power – AUGUST 28

Ps. 103.14:  He knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust.

Job 23.10:  He knoweth the way that I take: when He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

Perhaps those words, He knoweth, are meant for you today because God has allowed you some special trial of faith.  The love of God is very brave.  He does not hold trial off lest we should be overwhelmed.  He lets it come and then gloriously strengthens us to meet it.  And at the end, I shall come forth as gold.

oooOOOooo
